According to the medium, it concerns the 34-year-old Polish Wieslaw RD who had just left the prison of Saint-Gilles on Friday. He had spent eight months in prison for a series of thefts.
The horrific scene, which took place at South Station in the night from Friday to Saturday around 03:30 am, has been fully captured by surveillance cameras. It shows how the man set fire to a homeless man – while he was sleeping – with a lighter. He had covered the homeless person with newspapers before that.
The victim – also a Pole – had to be taken to the burns center of the Queen Astrid military hospital in Neder-Over-Heembeek. There were severe burns on the man’s back.
The suspect was quickly arrested in the vicinity of the crime, according to SudInfo.
